Propuesta del Plan de Manejo de Residuos Sólidos generados en el Colegio Técnico Salesiano sede Yanuncay de la ciudad de Cuenca.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to prepare a solid waste management plan at the Yanuncay Salesian Technical College in the city of Cuenca to promote the correct management of solid waste through programs that support its minimization and exploitation. The present solid waste management plan within the institution was analyzed through interviews and surveys involving teachers, administrative staff, students and maintenance personnel, as well as observation visits through which strengths and weaknesses were identified in the different stages of the aforementioned. Ten per cent of samples were obtained by sampling at a per capita rate of 0.051 (kg/capita*day) with an organic waste composition of 16%, unusable at 58% and recyclable at 26%. This proposal is oriented in three programs of training, segregation and storage of solid waste to strengthen the weaknesses of the institution.
